Happy Eid Mubarak

Idul Fitri is the special day for moslem in my country. Everyone’s always waiting for it and prepare lot of things to do during the day when it comes. We celebrate the moment with our families and neighbours. In the morning we start the day with eid prayer or well-known as shalat eid. After perform the shalat, we come back to our home and meet our family to ask for forgiveness. Started with our family, our neighbours, our friends or maybe everyone that we have ever meet before. ‘Cause in this day we believe that Allah (moslem’s God) will bless us just if we realize our sins in the past.

In my family tradition, we have some things to do during the day. We wake up in the morning to take a bath and wear clean clothes to perform shalat shubuh (fajr). After that, we go to the nearest mosque or field to perform shalat eid together with the other moslems and listen to the khutbah (speech). When we have done the shalat, we come back to our home and ask for forgiveness to our parents. Then we have breakfast together as a small family. A hours later when we ensure that everybody’s come from the shalat eid, we visit our neighbours one by one to greet them and ask for forgiveness. Not only with the other moslem, but also with our non-moslem neighbours. If we can’t ask for forgiveness directly, we usually ask for forgiveness by phone or just send them a message.
